Subject: Explanation of JFW 3.2 - Eloquence problem on European Systems

For Distribution as needed:

On March 28 when Europe switched over to Daylight Savings Time,
Eloquence stopped working with JFW on European systems.
Without any intervention, it will start working again on April 4 (the
day the U.S. switches to daylight savings.)

A new Driver (eloq.jls) has been posted to allow Eloquence to run properly
in Europe with JFW 3.2 at all times. It can be downloaded from the following
locations:
OMNI PC in Germany, ftp://ftp.omnipc.de/public/jfw3.2/
Sight and Sound in the UK, ftp://ftp.sightandsound.co.uk/Eloquence/

If you don't have Internet access and need to use Eloquence until a
disk can be sent, you have the following options:

either
set your time zone to  one of the U.S. time zones
or
Change your clock either before March 28, 1999 or after April 4, 1999.

This problem resulted from the fact that JFW and Eloquence were
developed using two different C++ compilers. Eloquence used Borland's
and JFW used Microsoft's.  For proper operation, JFW and Eloquence
must get the identical answer when asking the system for the current
time.  During this one week of the year in Europe, the Borland
compiler returns a different current time than does Microsoft's.  The
updated driver takes this fact under consideration.
This will not be a problem with JFW 3.3 since the new version of
Eloquence also uses the Microsoft compiler.

Henter-Joyce would like to apologize for any inconvenience this problem has
caused for our customers and Dealers. We would also like to thank OMNI PC in
Germany for reacting swiftly on Sunday by contacting Henter-Joyce
Development giving us an opportunity to fix the problem on the same day.
